Motorola Milestone Review
(XT702, A853) Score: 48.1 / 100
Motorola Milestone is a mid-to-low level Android device launched many years ago, featuring a 5 MP back camera, a medium sized 3.7" capacitive touch-screen and a fast 600 megahertz CPU.
This time, Motorola forgot about optimizing the weight, leaving it live with a weight of 5.96 ounces. This phone is a little thick for current standards, with a thickness of 0.54".
This cellphone includes a good level 3.7" screen with a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes all images and videos look great. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
Motorola decided to sell this cellphone with a good 600 MHz CPU, bundled in a TI OMAP3430 chip with as little as 256 MB of RAM. Collaborating with graphic calculations, this phone also has a PowerVR SGX530 graphic processing unit clocking at 200 MHz.
This cellphone only has a 5 MP back facing camera. This cellphone can also shoot videos up to 720x480 at 24 fps. This phone also includes flash.
The Motorola Milestone offers WiFi capability (but it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card to use GSM services.
This cellphone also includes a few useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone uses a 1400 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion battery, which is quite low for a consuming cellphone like this. Motorola informs a stand by time of 350 hs and a talk time of 6.5 hs for this cellphone.
This phone is not very convinient considering it is sold for $ 229, while other similar phones are being sold much cheaper than that.
